1/ LISTEN UP MY PEEPS: In the 4 years of the American Civil War not one confederate soldier ever breached the inside of the US Capital, and walked around inside with a Confederate Flag. In the last days of the Trump administration, that happened

2/ Like it or not, these two guys will this morning and for a long. long time be considered heroes by millions of Americans

3/Tens of millions are Americans yesterday watched the storming of the US Capital not with alarm or concern, but with happiness and cheer that at long last the politicians in Washington were getting what they deserved.

4/ The only thing that many of those Americans were unhappy about was the fact that those storming the Capital did not show up with M-16's so that they could kill every Democrat in site.

5/ While all of this was occurring, talking heads on TV expressed alarm, pontificated about democracy, made appropriate comments reflecting their privileged status. and a few referenced the discrepancy between the treatment of these largely white protesters and BLM protesters

PETITION FOR TEXAS SOVEREIGN ACTION

Dear @GregAbbott_TX As NBCs of the United States for the preservation of the Union we petition you to call up the Texas Constitutional Militia, resubmit your case to SCOTUS, occupy all assets of Chinese nationalists suspected of high treason!

With the Constitutional Militia Mustered, SCOTUS will hear you case! and the other Patriot States will take similar actions to preserve these United States of America as a government of the people, by the people and for the people with the right to 1 legal vote per 1 voter.

Never has #TEXAS had a cause so just and righteous, so patriotic, so universal. For as Christ teaches, when we see America beaten up on the side of the road, we cannot pass by like the hypocrite and pretend his wounds do not need caring for. (cf. Luke 10:25-37)

Moreover, as it is now public knowledge that #Scotus refused to hear the #TEXAS case out of prejudice, the implied contract of one citizen one vote is constitutionally threatened if the High court refuses to hear the case. Texas has the constitutional duty to uphold that right!

PETITION FOR SOVEREIGN ACTION OF #ARKANSAS #LOUISIANA #MISSISSIPPI #MISSOURI #SOUTHCAROLINA and #UTAH

to join #Texas in above constitutional redress authorized by the #10thAmendment and #2ndAmendment as solution to grave constitutional crises! (see top tweet in this thread)

the united states has convinced do many people that MLK day is a day of service. MLK wasn't interested in "service," he was interested in the redistribution of wealth to render poverty obsolete. Less service, more redistribution

He was called “the most dangerous man in America” by the FBI, not because he was interested in community service, but because he was promoting anti-militarism and anti-capitalism

He was organizing a poor people's campaign to use direct action against the US government for maintaining economic inequality, not to "help out poor people," but to end the idea of poor people

On militarism and

on his frustration with white moderates and the church who didn't like his nonviolent direct action to fight for

As Required by #EO13848 on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a US Election:

“The Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury... shall jointly prepare a recommendation for the President...” /1

Stunned. Just stunned.

“If I walked into my place of work tomorrow and I saw this, I’d be stunned myself,” one National Guard soldier tells me after I expressed my shock in some impolite terms

Rep. Andy Kim, who worked in Afghanistan, stood with me for a few minutes and took in the scene.

“How did it get so bad here? How did we get to this point as a country?” he asked

“One for the history books. We haven’t seen this in over 160 years, since the Civil War,” a National Guard soldier says to his buddy

There are at least a thousand, probably more, National Guard troops all over the Capitol Visitor Center, Emancipation Hall, and surrounding hallways. They’re sleeping in reception areas, the cafeteria, the entrance to the building. Everywhere.

1) Listening to the likes of Tucker Carlson, Lindsey Graham, Matt Gaetz, Ted Cruz and many other traitors in our government warning us of the dangers of further division would be laughable...

2) if those comments, weren’t made in the wake of a failed coup that left 5 dead. A coup attempt where people brought guns, bombs and screamed hang Mike Pence.

3) They want to convince us that impeaching trump again would only serve to divide the country further, to enrage trump and his supporters, to create more chaos and invite more destruction…

4) And they don’t see or pretend not to see that this is the very reason consequences must be delt out. Trump can rant and rave out of the white house and preferably behind bars.

5) That people who created and participated in this failed coup attempt, think that they should not have to pay for their crimes because they think they did nothing wrong is the biggest danger facing the country now and in the future.

It's 2021. If you still think coal is a good business plan for America's future, I've got a bridge I'd like to sell ya.

"In April 2020, Bloomberg New Energy Finance found Solar PV and onshore wind are now the cheapest sources of new-build generation for at least two-thirds of the global population."

The @nytimes reports that Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) and Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) are likely to be the most vociferous objectors to Biden's climate plan. I'd like to point out that supporting coal is going to lead their states to ruin.

Coal is already one of the most expensive forms of energy generation. It's actually cheaper to produce *new* solar power plants than to keep existing coal plants running.

Supporting coal in this rapid-growth renewable market is like the people at Kodak who thought digital photography was a fad, or the folks at Sears who thought their "tried and true" brick and mortar stores could weather in the Amazon instant-buy age. IOW, terribly short-sighted.

I went to DC with @thejoecardamone today to document the militarization of DC.

We spent almost 4 hours walking, and covered over 6 miles, skirting the barricaded perimeter.

#DCLockdown

Everything was covered with multiple layers of security, from metal fences, to flip up barricade.

#DCLockdown #BenjaPhoto

Even some of the very expensive local residences were boarded up, with custom fitted plywood boards that matched their arches.

#DCLockdown #BenjaPhoto

I enjoy shooting with Joe.

Even though sometimes our shots overlap, we definitely sharpen each other’s craft.

And no matter what, it’s impossible for us to get the EXACT same shot, since we see things in different ways.

#DCLockdown #BenjaPhoto

It was fascinating to see how city politics is later into how the barricades went up, which still made sure bike lanes were preserved, even though the streets were devoid of any automobiles save for military and law enforcement.

1/ HOW DO WE RECLAIM OUR REPUBLIC?!?!?! Recently, there has been much talk about a secession of states… but that idea should set off MASSIVE alarms in your head. It is setting ourselves up for an ultimate ambush. Allow me a few moments to explain why…

2/ While analytics performed by ex-military analysts have shown the red states would HANDS DOWN win in a civil war, they neglected to include the UN variable. The UN and their NWO have their spindly tentacles sunk into many of our border states...

3/ In liberal heaven New York, Gov Andrew Cuomo has been doing everything in his power for years to drive as many conservatives from the state as possible. He has LITERALLY said, “We don’t want you here”. He has kept the rural upstate portions of the state close to destitute...

4/ They do everything they can to keep big businesses out and prefer as many of their inhabitants on welfare, or close to it. Conservatives have been fleeing the state in droves for years now, and the upstate region population is dwindling… and that is all by design...

5/ Similarly, back in the early 90’s, Rosa Koire, now a retired forensic commercial real estate appraiser specializing in eminent domain valuation, began to notice victims of wildfires were being prevented from rebuilding on their land in certain areas...

This begins on Monday, 48 hours before the #CapitolAttack. I was reading about the #StopTheSteal rally and realized it was on the same day as certification. I told a colleague I was concerned there would be a takeover the Capitol Building to block the vote.

2/x

What would come was not a surprise.

On Wednesday, that colleague sent me a Slack message: “Not to freak you out, but…”

3x

knew what was coming and checked Twitter and turned on CNN. I was still horrified. And I wanted to see everyone of the domestic terrorists identified.

4x

Fast-forward a couple hours and I began pulling images together and created the @homegrownterrorists account on Instagram and posting with the U.S. Capitol geotag, a few hashtags, and captions saying “DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS TERRORIST?”
